Broken Contracts

[Ryou's slumped on a chair somewhere with a bottle of wine in one hand and a hell of a lot of regrets in the other. Meaning it was pressed against his face as he was surrounded by what was more or less a cloud of bitterness.  A lot had gone down... and he was feeling the sting from all of it, from Texotic's death to Jack's senseless murder of fellow Ravens to Naiza (Now Zinaida) having become a Human PLUS. They still won, but it felt like dust.]

...

[He slowly swirls the contents of the bottle, an empty look in his eyes. 'A senseless death' he said. That was what was awaiting him, what he expected, what he knew.]

Its always because of someone who sets themselves up higher than everyone else...

[The bottle slips from his fingers and crashes to the ground. Ryou barely even notices. There was a dim light being cast on his face from a tablet on the table showing some Ark related info - things Jack had prepped to sent should he have died. It just made him more bitter really. A man making a terrible mistake and murdering people in hopes to single someone out to clean his mess. Nothing compared to what the Overbeing Father had done, but all the more frustrating because of his ties. He looks at his hand - a slight cut on it from the shattered wine bottle. He tilts it and watches the blood flow along it.]

Should I still bother being human at this point?

[He doesn't notice you at all.]

...What?

...What's your alternative?

You said something that sounds both strange and worrying. Even if I don't know what exactly you meant.
emorangerpink: (ummm)

Naiza... that's why she's changed her name? She had something... done?

What is it?
emorangerpink: (le gasp)

[personal profile] emorangerpink 2014-01-04 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
...Why would she do that? Why are you thinking of doing that?
emorangerpink: (sadface)

[Laura listens, first looking concerned about Naiza, then her expression softening as Ryou continues.]

You mean you've grown a conscience. You can't in good conscience let them cut it out of you. That's just a roundabout suicide - or worse, because what they turn you in to goes on hurting people.

Isn't there some kind of cost? Something about Zinovie felt off...

Caring about other people, or not?

The whole world is full of other people. Other people are most of what life is about. It'd be pretty strange for it not to matter.

Forsaking one's humanity will not solve your problem. It never solves one's problem.

What would drive you to even consider such a thing?!

[personal profile] gift_of_magus 2014-01-04 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
She...did?

She seemed normal...

...True.

...'Barely even human to begin with'?

[Eibon takes a seat on the chair's armrest.]

Just don't set yourself up as something allegedly greater than everyone else. Duh.

[And Josh is already trying to find bandages.]
